Want to help PokerStars test their online poker software innovations and get something for yourself to boot? Then try TestPokerStars.com.

TestPokerStars.com is a beta site that allows you to try out the latest version of the PokerStars software, so you can evaluate their new game features before they go live on PokerStars.com. All games pay out play money only but the play poker chips you win on the test site can be transferred to the main PokerStars site, at a special bonus conversion rate currently set at two chips for every one you win. How’s that for good poker odds? That rate is subject to change, though, so get ‘em while you can.

You must have an account on the regular PokerStars site to access the test software. And because the site was created for beta testing, it might not be available all the time. If you find it’s down, though, come back a few hours later and try again; it may well be back up by then. Keep in mind that you may or may not get an answer if you contact support. Because it’s a beta site, they reserve the right to not answer every e-mail.
